feat: add NATS cache sharing and smart cache refresh

Add two complementary features to reduce remote revision cache staleness:

1. Smart local cache: When current system revision matches cached remote
   revision, force an immediate cache refresh to check for newer revisions.

2. NATS integration: Share cache updates across hosts via NATS pub/sub.
   Hosts publish revision updates when they fetch new data, and subscribe
   to receive updates from other hosts. Features include:
   - Auto-reconnect with infinite retries
   - Graceful fallback when NATS unavailable
   - Filtering by flake URL and hostname

New CLI flags:
  --flake.nats.enable
  --flake.nats.url
  --flake.nats.subject
  --flake.nats.credentials-file

New NixOS module options under services.prometheus.exporters.nixos.flake.nats

Bumps version to 0.3.0.
